These posts won’t include all the web sites available. If you network through them and experiment you will create a group that fits your interests. I am picking ones in various areas of progressive ideals. Just like the Democratic party there are many interests and subjects that tie us together a little bit. Just like the party we hope those with other main interests help us and in return we will advocate for them.
That’s once thru the country and it should take you a while to see if any of these are enjoyable to you. If you find one you like check their blog roll because usually they will link with others similar to them. Happy Surfing
I awake most mornings to watch c-span. I have an open mind as long as you agree with me. If you have read any of my prior posts you already know Fox News is not my favorite place to find any sanity. It has finally passed the credibility of the floor speeches in the house. Last year the Republicans screamed that they had no input into the bills that were passed. We who watched know that this was false. In committee they did get to input and like they are doing now it was their way or the highway. Having no power they not only lost while the Democrats worked like an eger beaver and passed a multitude of laws that helped both Republicans and Democrats . Now we get to the don’t waste my time part. This group is also moving at a fair clip their cry is “Reduce the deficit” but their actions are everything else. This congress is telling the public that all the secondary things that if they had run on them wouldn’t have gotten them elected are most important. If they think a bill might get get through the Senate they fill it with amendments that will surely stop it. They will tell you they are the good guys because the other side can stand on the house floor and complain knowing even if a couple of their members vote against it they will still win. Here is the best part they are working on this year’s budget. When we get to October we won’t have had time to change anything for next year. Then we can complain how bad the deficit is again.This next video may not be your exact subject but in the long run it sounds like all of you. After you listen stop wasting my time or like the teachers you are attacking vote yourselves a paycut and an extra penalty for doing nothing with my money that pays you. You may want to turn the volume down
unseen by twistedxstarz If you want to be reelected come to the floor with a true plan. Lets start with real tax reform. The republicans real problem isn’t the Tea Party. Sarah and Michell will take care of them. They will keep opening their mouths ,tweeting and ghost written face book pages and prove to the sane voters that a good mother and a beauty queen looser have good qualities but really can’t lead a country. Their group will vote republican. Michale Moore’s followers will vote Democratic. Ratchel Maddow’s watchers will vote Democratic even if the gay bars don’t open until after the polls close. Glen Beck’s watchers will vote Republican if they dare leave their homes with all of those dangerous people out their or they didn’t run out of depression pills. That leaves forty percent of us for them to get out to vote. The Democrats think were all poor the Republicans think we can be bought.
Paul Hardcastle don’t waste my time featuring Carol Kenyon
It would make things easier if all of us were thinking the same way. Of course you know we don’t so in only a few months you will be out to get our votes. Both sides will will follow the advice of this next video even if you don’t mean it. Now we know the problem and a we know you are not the answer. So keep on what your doing and either we’ll fail or our forty percent will figure it out

After your nice uninspiring State of the Union speech the Republicans continued to act like they were in control of everything. This is your fault. You could use your bully pulpit to stop them now. If you don’t the next two years will be your chance to redecorate the whitehouse for its next owner.
Lets see what they have done already. They have taken a vote to repeal your healthcare bill. they have taken a vote to set the spending limits to a level that will make sure there will be no job creation. Passed a bill to eliminate the election campaign fund. Their senate in Utah wants to make a gun its state symbol.
Issacs wants to be able to disrupt by being able to serve subpoenas anytime he wishes. Mitch McConnell and that palin wannabe from Minnesota (she’s had too much publicity already to repeat her name) have said that the most important jobs of the house and senate was to get you unelected.
You need(!!!) to tell them in front of the whole nation what is what. I am not a politician but I am part of the public, that liked and voted for you, yet I am beginning to question your leadership skills. If I feel this way as a supporter how do those that want to find fault feel? At every turn you have let your party be pushed around because you wouldn’t take a stand. There would be no more outcry if the health bill were single payer than there is now and the bill might have worked and the constitutionality would not be in question. You however gave no help and now we have a plan that needs a plan. You didn’t get insurance out of the profit sector. Insurance by definition is socialistic not capitalistic.
What do I think you should tell them in a stern authoritarian way. Tell them in language they can understand,which is the way you would tell a first grader(in that simple language also), to get to work. The country needs them to come up with viable acceptable ideas to solve those problems we all agree upon. Explain before you knock a dam down the next dam must be built or the valley gets flooded. Before they repeal healthcare they must first have a passable plan to replace it. If they want to set a spending limit then they must first explain how they intend to spend the money. Explain to them now that their pay will be the first thing cut after they shut the country down or they could get rid of that uncertainty (which they say causes less jobs) now and increase the debt limit that they know they have to anyway. Say to them that while they posture and do nothing that even they know won’t come true so that they can do their magic tricks without scrutiny that Fox is an entertainment channel and can say anything and the only consequences are viewership and ratings. That when a representative of the country says and does things it has real affect on people and business.
Here is an example. I wish to tell the House of Representatives that it is time to get to work and quit playing games. Without viable explicit replacements to any already created law I will not be signing any of their repeals. Now that they know that up front I will also be pointing out to the public the fact that everyday they play this game is costing us money that we could be spending on a, according to them, nonproductive government employee that would give someone a job and even at low output would accomplish more than they do.
These folks have no problem accusing you of doing nothing,being an alien, and giving your plans no credit for stopping our economic slide. They have no problem even accusing you for their mistakes. They don’t want compromise anymore this time than in the last two years where it was their way or the highway. If the Democrats were in real conrol the bills would have worked better and our country would be creating jobs faster. You must attack, you must keep showing everytime they say this is wrong without a solution to fix it. Point out their inability to govern. Explain anyone can let their kids out on the street and then complain the cops couldn’t control them while bragging about their great parenting skills.
President Obama I think you see my message. Either become a true leader or let another Democrat who can run next time. I am sure you are a good intelligent person. I am not sorry I voted for you. The country now needs to led out of this crisis not thrown to wolves before it knows what happened to it. Your job has changed and you now need a little exertion to your rhetoric. We need the window of realism you could provide.

I was on my way grocery shopping and listening to the ball game. The day was good and my team was ahead. My grocery bill was low and things were just calm and as good as they could be. Then on my return trip the game was over but the talk station that carries the game was still on. Hannity and Gingrich were having a discussion about the Republican landslide in 2010 because by passing this health care plan the Democrats will be putting us on the path to ” Euthanasia”. Now guys please send me a list of people you convince of this because I’ll sell them a piece of a bridge in New York.
I know there are a lot of people against one payer health insurance. Most of them haven’t come to the realization that there is no capitalist competition when it comes to necessities. These companies who should be in competition for your business, and logically the market will keep prices down, have been in a contest to see who could give the least for the highest price. Have we forgotten our not so long ago history? Have the names Enron, Duke Energy, Merk & Co., Adelphia, Halliburton or the other twenty four other major corporations in scandals between 2001 and 2005 like AIG? I ask you to think about the facts. There is no capitalism that the conservatives keep talking about. We used to have it but even then we had to pass child labor laws and other workers regulations to keep companies from stealing another way.
Without true competition everything costs more. So the next time you tell me about the debt we are going to leave our children, tell me what they will have if you keep
allowing these companies to keep on stealing. The game is simple. You make a company grow and be successful then you negotiate a great salary, bonus plan, and golden parachute. You make your stock grow and pay no or little dividends (why give your investors anything but a piece of paper? If they’re smart enough they’ll sell before everyone else sees the latest trick) Next you borrow money so the investors in the financial institution can loose too. You take your money and let the ship fall or better yet bail out before it does. When the latest trick is discovered they’ll throw an accountant, or two that received a few extra thousand, in jail.
If our government steals at least you get something back even if the value isn’t there. If companies steal there is no return. Is it possible that the increased energy prices of the last four years hastened the inevitable housing foreclosures? Could it be that if the cost of health care hadn’t risen at the ridiculous pace of the last eight years our paychecks would be larger and many would have been able to convert their mortgages to a fixed rate? If companies like Walmart weren’t hiring illegals or breaking child labor laws would some small businesses (the backbone of our economy) still exist? If Halliburton didn’t have a no bid contract for the war and then hire non-Americans to do the work would that money still be in our economy?
If we controlled our industries and financial institutions would you have to talk to someone you couldn’t understand, that was thousands of miles away, when you need service? If we controlled our markets would we allow stock market betting that a company’s stock would drop and then allow these same investors to cause it(and they didn’t even have to own one share). Would our food, toys, paint, and other products be as safe as they were just eight years ago? The list goes on yet there is a faction in government that want to tell you how rotten government is and how angelic our companies are.
Newt and Sean continued their conversation by explaining that the Democrats were like Nazi Germany. Isn’t this the first step towards the”superuben”. That of course was to prove their euthanasia argument. After all aren’t Americans becoming scared and disillusioned with these programs that aren’t working? ( not that they have had enough time ) I forgot Ronald Regan’s perfect economy (according to these gentlemen) changed things the next day. I ask anyone who is being swayed by the only tatic left to these pathetic conservative pundits, the one they are most versed in, to sit back and think. They have been practicing their art since before the days of that great President Herbert Hoover, who caused the last depression. Think about the shape of the economy in September. Think about the policies of the last eight years and how much better things were in 2000. Why don’t we believe in government. Could it be that the very people that these paid talking heads back are the politicians that we shouldn’t trust?
You have the right and ability to vote conservative in 2010 so please don’t panic any of these new laws are actually passed and speculation based on the worst possible scenario is gone. The advantage will still be with the naysayers because there is always things to twist and no law satisfies completely even those that pass them. Just maybe there will be enough that you like about them to make them Ok. If not, change the group and the new ones will fix it, maybe?
As a parting Question to Sean. If you were so against that ignorant car company getting bailed out Why do you still have General Motors as an advertiser?
